Dongzi wanted to use an excuse to go out to answer the phone, but Lian Ruowei took the phone from Dongzi's hand and said she would explain to Dongzi's parents.
"Uh..." Dongzi was stunned, let go of his hand, and let Lian Ruowei take the phone, a little at a loss.
Just when Lian Ruowei's finger was about to touch the answer button, the ringing tone of the phone stopped.
Dongzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"How about we fight back?" Lian Ruowei was stunned and looked at Dongzi and said.
"Let's eat first. Grandpa and Aunt Chen are waiting for us. Mom's problem shouldn't be big, otherwise dad would have called last night. We'll call after dinner." Dongzi shook her head and said.
When Dongzi raised his eyes, he saw "Old Master Chen" looking at him thoughtfully.
After meeting Dongzi's eyes, "Mr. Chen" looked at him with a smile and asked, "Is your mother sick?"
"It should be okay. I'll call and ask later." Dongzi replied with some guilt.
"How old are your parents?" "Old Master Chen" asked again.
"Dad is forty-eight, and mom is forty-six." Dongzi replied.
"They are all still young. Even your uncle and Aunt Chen are only one or two years older than you. Judging from your appearance, your parents are both very old. Don't worry too much. We will bring them all to Kyoto later. We are a family.
Let’s have a good time together.” Mr. Chen nodded and said.
Dongzi's heart skipped a beat, and she became more and more uneasy.
Whether a person's parents are in good health or not can indeed be seen from the parents' palace of their children. The cultivation level of "Old Master Chen" is not low now, and you can definitely tell from his face that he is telling the truth.
The words are still lies.
"Then let's eat first!"
After looking at Dongzi again, Mr. Chen picked up the chopsticks at hand and said calmly: "Judging from your appearance, your mother is indeed a little ill, but the problem is not big. It's just an ordinary headache. I'll give it to you later."
Girl Ruowei will accompany you back to see you."
When Dongzi heard what "Mr. Chen" said, she felt happy and worried at the same time. Fortunately, it was such a coincidence that her mother happened to be in poor health, so she should not have exposed any flaws to cause trouble to Zhao Ke and Xiaoju.
What's worrying is that my mother is really sick.
He didn't receive the call from his father just now, and he doesn't know what it was about.
After one meal, Dongzi felt a little distracted.
Fortunately, the Chen family seems to have a habit of keeping silent, so no one said much during the meeting.
After the meal, "Old Master Chen" held a cup of tea in his hand and slowly asked Lian Ruowei: "Girl Ruowei, have you told Dongzi about what I told you yesterday? How did you discuss it?"
Already?"
"Grandpa, Dongzi promised to listen to me and he is willing to enter the Tianshi Mansion." Lian Ruowei replied.
"Mr. Chen" nodded, took another sip of tea and said, "Well, Dongzi's mother is also sick, and he probably doesn't feel at ease. Tomorrow you will accompany him back to Jiangzhou, and pick his parents up in Kyoto."
Come and play for a few days. I will settle your matters later and prepare for your entry into the Tianshi Mansion.
You should start a family first and then build a career. Back then, your grandmother and I also started a family first and then became the chief heavenly master."
"Grandpa."
Lian Ruowei glanced at Dongzi and asked, "Can Dongzi really take over your position and become the chief heavenly master?"
When Dongzi heard Lian Ruowei ask this question, she nervously turned her eyes to "Mr. Chen".
"Old Master Chen" also cast his gaze on Dongzi's face.
Dongzi's nervousness was actually due to fear, but his expression turned into nervous anticipation in the eyes of "Old Master Chen".
"This matter cannot be decided now. You also know that Xiaohong's qualifications in Tianshi Mansion are much older than Dongzi's. When his illness is cured, it may be him. Then he will have to pass the assessment.
There are three elders, so they have to unanimously approve it." Mr. Chen said with a smile.
These words of "Old Master Chen" coincide with what Zhao Ke told Dongzi.
Sure enough, he and Lu Xiaohong were both options for "Mr. Chen".
"Dongzi will definitely work hard!" Lian Ruowei said and pulled Dongzi's arm, meaning to ask him to say a few words to make grandpa happy.
Dongzi didn't expect to come over at all. He stared at "Old Master Chen" blankly and said, "Grandpa Chen, I'm still a little worried about mom. Can Ruowei and I go back to Jiangzhou this afternoon?"
Lian Ruowei heard this and gently pulled Dongzi's arm.
Dongzi still didn't understand what Lian Ruowei meant, but "Old Master Chen" smiled and said: "Girl Ruowei, this is your fault. It's a good thing that Dongzi has filial piety, and he will feel uneasy if he doesn't go back earlier."
After saying "Mr. Chen", he sighed again and said: "It's just that Shanshan and Xiaohong should be back in the afternoon. I planned to let you meet first, so let's do it next time!"
"Brother Lu will be back in the afternoon?" Dongzi asked, looking at "Mr. Chen" in confusion.
Old Mrs. Chen nodded and asked Dongzi: "By the way, I heard from Ruowei that you and Xiaohong are still relatives, right?"
"There are some relatives." Dongzi was a little unsure of how to answer when asked by "Mr. Chen", so she nodded and answered vaguely.
"It's good to be relatives. After relatives become a family, they become more intimate!" Old Mrs. Chen nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile.
"Okay, I'm a little tired too. As I get older, my body and energy are not as good as before. If I let you kids take over my class earlier, you can have a good rest!"
"Mr. Chen" said as he stood up, glanced at Dongzi and Lian Ruowei, turned around and walked behind the screen.
Chen Ma also quickly followed.
"I'm going to take a nap too!"
Chen Yuefang also stood up, glanced at Lian Ruowei and said, "Your father said he would be back in the afternoon. You'd better wait until he comes back before leaving, so as not to make him angry."
Lian Ruowei nodded, turned around and glared at Dongzi and said, "I understand. I will ask Dongzi to call back first. If Auntie's illness is not serious, we will return to Jiangzhou tomorrow."
"So much the better!"
Chen Yuefang nodded, glanced at Dongzi and said: "I heard the girl Shanshan's tone before, and I seemed to have some misunderstandings about Dongzi. If they turn around and you leave again, the girl will misunderstand her even more. After all, they are all from her own family.
Cousins, it’s better to be more affectionate!”
When Dongzi heard "Old Master Chen" say that Lu Xiaohong would be back in the afternoon, he regretted it and decided to go back to Jiangzhou in the afternoon. Now after hearing what Chen Yuefang said, he had a step down, just in time to see Lu Xiaohong's condition.
Walk.
"Don't worry, Aunt Chen. I've remembered that if there are no major health problems with my mother, Ruowei and I will try to leave as late as possible." Dongzi quickly expressed his position.
